speaking of, what is a good 1/8" extension? I tried using a coiled headphone cable the other night and it was cutting out one of the channels. Just ended up taping the recorder to the stand, but I'd rather not do that. Thanks!
When I'm running low-pro, I have mixed emotions about this. On the one hand, I really like have my gear up off the floor. The smaller low pro gear is easy for people to step on, kick around, etc. even if the gear is sitting under the legs of the stand. If it's on the floor, it's also much easier to get spilled upon. When the recorder is on your stand, it's really easy to check levels too.
On the flip side, if your stuff is off the floor, then there's always a risk that it will fall and damage the gear if it's not secured well. I've also always like the idea that if I can eliminate that extra 1/8 inch extension cable, that's a good thing.
Regardless, perhaps the best protection you can provide to your gear is to have your stuff in a bag that's appropriately sized for the amount of gear you have. I just recently picked up small, medium and large Lowepro bags for a really good deal on ebay so I can size my bag appropriately before I leave for the gig, depending on what rig I'm gonna run that night.
